It was gathered that the fire started at around 1am on Monday, and the men of the Anambra State fire service are currently battling to extinguish it.
A trader, whose identity was not ascertained, said so far, goods worth millions of naira, including sacramentals, wines, babies and women’s hair attachment were engulfed by the inferno.
Although no clue has been obtained as to the actual cause of the incident as at press time, sources said it might not be unconnected with some disputes among the importers and major stakeholders at the plaza.
